Welcome to Kakodo!
Kakodo is a Japanese word, put together by Ka Ko which means "The Past"
and
Do which means "Path, Road or Way". Therefore Kakodo means "Way of the
Past".
But, since my name is KAare (Kåre) KOnradsen, Kakodo also means "Kåre
Konradsens Way".
When it comes to Martial Arts Kakodo is not a system of its own! Kakodo
only
gather the different styles/arts/systems that I am training or have
trained, but as individual
systems, not as a blend.
When it comes to meditation Kakodo Gaia Four Elements Energy Meditation
is a
passive and active meditation system in the making. But why KAKODO in
front
of the rest of the name, why "Way of the Past" Gaia Four Elements Energy
Meditation? The answer is easy. We humans have been to modern, to
sivilized,
to careless, to arrogant and in no way close to the nature anymore. This
is why I
seek knowledge from the different "primitive" people and societies that
still lives
in peace with nature, while the knowledge still is there to collect.
More about this at the meditation page, but now you know the outline of
it.
